Gustavo and Maria met in 2003 while Gustavo was teaching a class at a small dance Studio in Palermo. Shortly after, they started working together at Salón Canning.
Gustavo As a dancer, he stands out for his agility and most of all for his endless creativity, which he bases in the ability of dominating the techniques and exploring the possibilities he’s being offered through the embrace and the release of the emotions.
Maria studied follower’s techniques with several prestigious dancers and learned even more from milonguero Masters that taught her about the emotion of the dance. Her hallmark as a dancer is the speed and expressiveness of her feet, which she combines with the elegance of her walking and posture.
Tango Club of Albuquerque is hosting these tango workshops with Gustavo and Maria, Dec. 6th – 8th. For a flyer with a mail-in registration form, class subjects, times, and pricing information please click here.
